Buell is back with the new 2022 Hammerhead 1190 in Heritage Colors or Carbon Fiber.

More than three decades of racing, engineering, and manufacturing experience goes into every motorcycle we make. You won’t be disappointed upon setting eyes on our newest creation: The 2022 Buell Hammerhead 1190. It has been built from start-to-finish with pride, joy and a relentless passion to bring you another world-class sport bike from the heart of America.

The new Hammerhead designed in collaboration with famous Buell designer Ryan Hahn.

While the Hammerhead is not an entirely new motorcycle - it’s largely design-dependent on founder Erik Buell's 1190SX from 2017 - it does represent a leap forward in many ways. The Hammerhead is now powered by an updated Rotax Helicon motor. This 72° V-twin engine delivers a brawny 185 hp and 102 ft-lbs of torque, and those numbers put the Hammerhead in ‘superbike’ territory.

This bike retains some of the innovative and sensible features of the old Buell's layout, such as front brake disc mounting on the wheel's perimeter, a fuel-in-frame setup, and oil storage within the swingarm.

The running dry weight is a svelte 416 pounds (190 kg), and that lightweight configuration, when coupled with the beastly Rotax, means performance should be stunning indeed.

And the performance features don’t stop with the weight and power as Buell says the Hammerhead includes fully adjustable Showa USD Big Piston Forks up front and a fully adjustable, direct-mounted single Showa shock rear.

Buell adds that they’ve maintained yet another feature of the original 1190 with the inclusion of that 386mm perimeter brake disc and eight-piston caliper setup, which they claim offers far superior stopping power and weight savings in regard to a traditional setup.
